I received CAQ on 23/Nov/2018 nigh as my physical documents reached there on 22/Oct/2018. Since you are going to apply from india, you could get visa approval in time through direct program. I submitted on 28/Nov/2018 from SG & current processing time is 8 weeks. There is no way for me to get visa before 7/Jan/2019

. Anyway I will wait until last minute before defer to next term. Good Luck to u
